New Device Helping to Detect Concussions and Keep Athletes Safe

Wednesday, November 2, 2011

Lori Shutter, MD, Director of Neurocritical Care, and neurointensivist Bill Knight, MD, comment about a new device that is helping to detect concussions. The device is a chin strap with a light that turns from green to red after a hit that generates enough force to cause a concussion. Although Drs. Shutter and Knight have concerns about the device, they agree that it is a step in the right direction.
